We get the word limousine from the Limousin region of France, where the cloth-covered compartments on the transport carriages used there centuries ago resembled the cloaks of the shepherds of that region.

You will also hear limousines referred to as liveried transportation, a tradition that goes all the way back to the fourteenth century when horse-drawn carriages were driven by uniformed coachmen.The term livery identified, then and now, the uniform of a person who performs a service but is not in the employ of the government.

When the automobile industry was still in its infancy, men of power and wealth hired others to drive them around in fancy vehicles.The earliest limos seated the driver alone and exposed in a front compartment, protected only by an awning.The lucky people inside-and only the rich could afford such luxurious transport–enjoyed their rides, in privacy and elegance, completely separated from the driver.There are several companies, like Cullitons Limousines in Toronto, which provide colorful detail on their websites about lengthy family traditions of liveried service.

Today’s limousine drivers are still liveried, and they remain separated from the passengers.When you rent a limousine, your chauffeur escorts you into your vehicle and, once he has entered the driver’s seat, you communicate with him through a door that slides open and shut or through an intercom system.Being escorted from your vehicle by your chauffeur lends an aura of privilege and excitement to your event.

Among the most popular limousines are the Lincoln sedans.The Lincoln has always represented a measure of success, and it offers the perfect blend of comfort and luxury.The Town Car is one of the most traditional limousines, designed to serve a small party of two to four passengers.Quality business-class limousines come equipped with necessities such as cell phones and ATM machines, and thoughtful drivers will provide the daily newspaper.

Many business people frankly require the convenience of limousine travel.First of all, it provides relief for the traveler who has debarked from an uncomfortable plane or train ride.And second, the padded seating and tinted windows provide such roominess and privacy that businessmen can conduct complicated meetings while the chauffeur drives them to their ultimate destination.

Lincolns are also used for the wonderful stretch vehicles that compel people everywhere to stop and stare. The seats are generally angled along the length or back of the vehicle so that passengers can face one another easily.There is easy access to whatever amenities you have arranged for your ride-imagine iced beverages or chocolates within easy reach, luxurious leather upholstery, integrated sound systems, and plasma screen televisions.

It’s not too difficult to imagine a day or night of fun-filled partying in one of these.You and your friends travel from one place to another totally relieved of the responsibilities of traffic. Whether you are embarking on a tour of the wine country or club-hopping for a bachelorette party, you can enjoy adult beverages without worry or guilt.

Much like other companies in the hobby train industry the story of Atlas model trains is a story of vision, entrepreneurship, and tough work, combined with a passion for a hobby that resulted in a company that grew bigger than what anyone would have imagined at the foundation.

The beginning of Atlas Model Model Trains goes back to the first decades of the 20th century, when Stephan Schaffan Sr. founded what would become Atlas Model Trains. Back then, it was a tool company not a model train business and Stephan Schaffan Sr. was so undermanned that he had his son Stephan Schaffan Jr. come and help him with the business.

Stephan Schaffan Jr. wasnt happy with the money that he earned at his dads business (if he earned anything at all). He was a young and inventive man who liked machinery. He would go after work and built model airplanes at his house. There was a local airplane model shop where he lived, and he would visit it frequently. He used to annoy the owner by asking for a side work that he could do to earn some extra money, to which the owner would always refuse.

However, one day, the owner of the store grew so tired of Stephan Jr.s requests that he gave him some old railroads and model trains that he didnt want to use any longer, in the hopes that Stephan would get away and leave him alone.

Little did he know that these old railway tracks and models that he discarded so easily would ultimately become what today is known as Atlas Trains.

Stephan Jr. went back home and worked on those trains. Being an inventive and intelligent young man, he designed a switch set, which would become the staple of Atlas Model Trains, and that allowed the user to start and stop the trains by controlling the voltage on the tracks.

Later on, Stephan Jr. invented more products which made the company grow even more, while his fathers business started to appear small in comparison. Somewhere along the line, the original name was dropped and the company took the name of Atlas Model Railroad, even though most people know it by the name Atlas Trains.

Now with Atlas Model Trains officially presented, Stephan invented quite a few devices that saved work for the folks who enjoyed the model train hobby. For example, he invented pre-assembles tracks, that saved his customers the trouble of assembling it themselves. In general his inventions made track assembling much easier.

Today, Atlas Model Trains is one of the major names in the industry. Although Stephen Jr. is no longer alive, Atlas Model Trains and his legacy made model trains a much more easily reached hobby for train lovers.
